🚫 Navigating Connections on LinkedIn: When to Block and Delete 🚫 LinkedIn is a powerful platform for building professional relationships, but not every connection is positive. In this episode, I discuss key situations when it’s time to block and delete a connection to protect your professional space and mental well-being. 🔍 Here are three red flags to watch out for: Negative Comments on Your Content: If someone consistently leaves negative or derogatory comments on your posts, it's a sign they may not respect your contributions. Your space should be supportive and constructive! Selling and Pitching from the Get-Go: If a new connection jumps straight into a sales pitch without taking the time to build a relationship, it can feel disingenuous. LinkedIn is about meaningful connections, not just transactions. Posting Negative or Polarizing Content: If a connection frequently shares divisive or toxic content, it can affect your network’s environment. Your feed should inspire and uplift, not create conflict. 📹 Listen to the full episode, as I dive deeper into these scenarios and share tips on handling them gracefully. Protect your LinkedIn experience and ensure it aligns with your professional goals! Let’s create a positive LinkedIn community together! Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

With a heavy heart, I share some news about changes to LinkedIn's collaborative articles. Since their launch, these articles have brought our community together, allowing us to share insights and learn from one another. However, in response to feedback, LinkedIn is making significant changes that will affect how we engage with these valuable resources. 🔹 The Gold Community Top Voice Badge is Being Retired: Starting October 8, 2024, LinkedIn will discontinue automatically awarding the gold Community Top Voice badge for contributions to collaborative articles. This decision, aimed at maintaining high-quality standards, means we will no longer see these badges awarded automatically. 🔹 What This Means for You: If you currently hold a gold badge, it will expire within 60 days of when it was awarded. Those who earn a badge on or after October 8 will have it until December 7, 2024. 🔹 Top Voice Program Remains: While the Top Voice (blue badge) program will continue, it’s now invitation-only and managed by LinkedIn’s editorial team. It’s a reminder that recognition may not come as easily, but it remains an aspiration for many. This change marks the end of an era for collaborative articles, and it’s hard not to feel a sense of loss. They’ve fostered such incredible discussions and connections within our community. 📹 In this podcast episode, I reflect on these changes and share ways we can still contribute meaningfully to collaborative articles moving forward. I hope you’ll join me in navigating this transition together. Let’s cherish the memories of what we’ve built together and continue to support one another through this change.

LinkedIn has rolled out another new feature to make the platform more engaging, more interactive, and highlight those who are creating amazing content. It is slowly being rolled out so if you don't have it yet, don't fret...you will in time. To check and see if you do have it, do these three things: 1. Open the LinkedIn app on your phone 2. Scroll through your newsfeed until you find a video 3. When you do, click on it and swipe up. If it takes you to the next video in the cue, you have access to the "video-only feed". If it takes you back to the original video, you don't as of yet. What does this all mean? Short-form content is converting better at the moment so start with 30-60 second videos. You can also use opus.pro to click down a longer video into shorter clips.

Are you pouring your heart and soul into creating content on LinkedIn, only to feel like it's not getting the attention it deserves? 😩 If so, it might be time to shift your focus to a crucial, yet often overlooked, metric: Impressions. But why do LinkedIn impressions matter more than likes, comments, or shares? 🤔 In our latest podcast episode, we pull back the curtain on LinkedIn's algorithm and explain why impressions are the lifeblood of your content strategy. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn: 🎯 What Are LinkedIn Impressions? Think of impressions as the first step in your content’s journey.

Impressions tell the real story of how many people are actually seeing your content. Without a solid impression count, even the best posts can fall flat. 🔑 Strategies to Boost Your Impressions Learn actionable tips to increase your visibility on LinkedIn. From optimizing your posting times to crafting attention-grabbing headlines, we cover it all. Plus, discover how to turn those impressions into genuine engagements and valuable connections. Whether you’re a LinkedIn veteran or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights that will change the way you approach your content strategy. 🎙️ 👉 Ready to make every post count?

Now more than ever you see people getting more and more engagement, views, likes, shares, and increased "influence" on LinkedIn. Is it me, or is LinkedIn churning out "influencers" faster than cooking a meal in a microwave? Don't get me wrong, they aren't illegal per se, but LinkedIn does frown upon them, as it is considered forced/fake engagement and they can restrict your account if they find out. 3 realities need to be taken into consideration when it comes to engagement on LinkedIn: 1. Only 16.5% of LinkedIn users engage in content daily 2. Only 1-3% of your network sees your content 3.
